Kitchen faucet flow start / stop

Hi B’stoners:

The cold water faucet in our kitchen turns on fine, but after running for a few seconds, stops completely. If you turn the faucet on further, the flow resumes normally. Essentially, there is a “dead spot” in the faucet where no water will come out.

Any ideas what might cause this? Is it something I can repair?

Much thanks.
